New Warrior Nick Young enjoyed a family vacation in Cabo San Lucas, where he swam with a dolphin — no minor activity for Young. Back in 2015, Young's former fiance Iggy Azalea revealed the baller was deathly afraid of dolphins. Not the case anymore, says Young. "I gave these dolphins another chance," he wrote on Instagram. "We cool now." less

Action-packed offseason for Warriors’ Stephen Curry

1 / 25

Back to Gallery

Stephen Curry wasn’t wearing a striped shirt or a goofy beanie Monday. But other than the clothing choices, he has spent his summer like the roaming character from the children’s book.

Offseason? What offseason? For all of the Warriors — and for Curry in particular — the brief 12-week offseason between the last second of the NBA Finals and the start of training camp is action-packed.

“I have three months to get it all in,” he said. “I’m enjoying every opportunity I have. I get some good sleep and some great workouts in to get ready for next year, but this is kind of how I go.”

Among the highlights of his summer: A sponsor trip to Asia (Curry started cracking up when I asked if he thought he had as much fun in Asia as his teammate #ChinaKlay), a lot of golf, some sun and sand, some dance floor moves that the Internet assumed were mocking LeBron James (“I knew it was going to blow up,” Curry said last week. “If you look at just that 20 seconds you don’t understand what I was doing.”).

That’s the kind of thing that happens when you’re the second most influential American athlete on social media. One data firm gave Curry that title Monday, noting he has 27 million Twitter and Instagram followers, second only to James (with 69.2 million).

Also this summer, Curry — oh, by the way — signed a five-year, $201 million contract with the Warriors.

Did he do anything crazy when the contract became official?

“I was on vacation,” he said of his trip to Turks and Caicos. “I flew my drone over the resort and took some pictures. I didn’t buy myself anything.”

He’s also taking an elevated, drone-like view of what he can do with the riches from his new contract.

“I don’t want to get too deep, but for the last couple of years I’ve been trying to figure out how I can make the most impact off the court,” he said. “Keying in on the Bay Area, specifically, to leave a lasting impact because of all the good that’s happened here for me and my family. I want to use my platform and dollars to make that happen.

“The contract does put responsibility to make that happen. I’m aware of that.”

Everyone wants a piece of Curry, no matter in-season or offseason. But the man never seems too stressed. He had fun at Tahoe. Fun at the Barnes wedding.

And at his camp Monday, he seemed to be having fun, playing one-on-one basketball with a kid too young to be part of the high school cream of the crop.

After all, Curry has a soft side for the littler ones. He was a lightly recruited, undersized player himself.

Curry finds it somewhat surreal that he is in a position to work with some of the best up-and-coming basketball players in the land. Among those at his camp are Manute Bol’s son, 7-foot-2 center Bol Bol. Also in the group from the class of 2018 is Shareef O’Neal, the son of Shaquille O’Neal.

“It’s very surreal,” Curry said. “I remember where I came from, the route I took. … I wasn’t on any high-ranking boards.”

On Tuesday at 6 p.m. Curry will coach at Kezar Pavilion in the SC30 Select Showcase. Coaching on the other bench will be his brother, Seth, the Dallas Mavericks guard.

Will it get heated between the brothers?

“We are very competitive by nature,” Curry said. “I feel like my penmanship is much better so I’ll be able to draw up better plays on the white board. Hopefully I won’t be like Coach Kerr and break it.”

“At the end of the day, I’m pretty sure coaching won’t make the difference.”

It’s just one more stop on the hyper-speed Curry ride. Asked if he didn’t yearn to get back to the structure of training camp and the season, Curry laughed.

“I’ve got five more weeks,” he said.

Included in that will be a stop at Levi’s Stadium to see his beloved Carolina Panthers in the 49ers’ season opener Sept. 10. And more action-packed days.

“It’s a balancing act, but the priority is my family and becoming a better basketball player,” Curry said. “I’d do myself a disservice if didn’t own those two areas of my life.

“It can be tough at times. You only have 24 hours in the day.”

And for the last three years, it seems every second of those hours has been filled.
